Bought a Brompton rear luggage rack, and cat steals an Easywheel.

I wish it was one of my old little ones, but no... it's the new bigger easywheel that came to replace the smaller older ones.

The little bastard doesn't know what a kerfuffle she's caused either. I called Brilliant Bikes to tell the tale, and to see if they can find a spare easywheel they can send to me

Wait what ?? The cat took it off your bike ?

I know one of my cats took exception to me leaving a bike in his kitchen overnight. Came down to a flat tyre.
Three little holes in the inner tube.

I should be grateful he's not done anything to the Brompton but maybe he's loosened nuts or something like yours did ?

Nah I was getting ready to fit the bigger ones on the frame to match the rack. The first one I was installing, almost ready to take the second BRAND NEW one from beside me, when she took it from under my nose and sprinted away with it?! Grrrrrr!

Ransoming it for Dreamies maybe ?

Great idea! Now... how do I teach her to speak English 🤔

And that is exactly why I keep my two furry darlings away from any projects that involve small parts, fabrics and paints.

P.S. She's not a tortie by any chance?

Aaaah, she's gorgeous

Even if she isn't flavour of the month right now...

For those who are interested... Brilliant Bikes sent me replacement set of two easywheels. Their customer service is SO GOOD!

+1 for Brilliant Bikes. Brilliant!!!

+2 - they helped me out when a parcel went missing.

No questions, just sent another and it was with me the next day.

But do cat's not speak the universal language? If you take a cat from all countries, they all seem to converse without any issues

That's because cats communicate with body language.

Vocalisation is unique and individual to each cat, and usually depends on the relationship they have with their owner slave.

They are a great business, I bought tons of stuff off them when I rebuilt my Mk2 and visited their shop in Chobham, a shop run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, a rare thing these days.
